Journal Title: Mental Health: Global Challenges Journal - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (T2DM) has been becoming a global world health problem affecting countries with different income level (Mogre, Johnson, Tzelepis, Shaw, & Paul, 2017). The low level of compliance and the increased level of the diabetes distress has been closely associated with destitute glycemic control. Some diabetes-specific psychological variables may be important for psychological status of patients and glycemic control to the achievement of individual glycemic targets (Indelicato et al., 2017). Therefore, alexithymia – psychological clinical characteristic of the reduced emotional component that could have been associated with the metabolic syndrome in patients with type 2 diabetes, for example (Lemche, Chaban, & Lemche, 2014). It is important to consider the clinical evaluation of mental aspects in patients with T2DM, however, in order to preventing potentially unfavorable self-care behavior leading to complications of this disease, including a decrease in the quality of life level (Conti et al., 2017). Patient's level of the quality of life is the one of main important components of treatment adherence and clinical decision making for improving the effectiveness of therapy (Chaban, Khaustova, & Bezsheiko, n.d.). The low level of medication compliance and quality of life could have been addicted in consequence to non-adherence and respectively – inefficiency of therapy of these patients. Therefore, multidisciplinary connection – involving mental health care specialists can potentially improve treatment effectiveness (Kogut at al., 2018)
